Day 5

Welcome to prompt 5! The title for today is: Inspiration
It is a fairly straight forward prompt today. We are all inspired by something, someone. You might even have a muse. What inspires you? Look around your home, your studio...what surrounds you? Things that inspire you, things you love I am sure.
Tell us about these things, or people that inspire you.
Is it nature, color. Art, an artist, an author?
Whatever it is, wherever it is, we want to see!
It is not often we get the joy and privilege to take a small peek into someone else's life.
To see life through their eyes, to see what makes them happy, what inspires them to create the Things they create. The wonderful thing about you, is that you are unique. The way you see life is unique, No one else can see life through YOUR eyes. So show us in any way you want to, how YOU see life and what grabs you, that things jump out at you and make you want to grab your pen,Your paint brush, that makes your mind swirl, scream...Show us what inspires.
You can choose to do this in a number of ways, which I will leave up to your unique self.Make a digital page, 12 x 12 scrap page, Art Journal, Collage, A little book like the one I did below which I aptly entitled "Inspirations"
These are the things that inspire me. I am sure I will be adding to this little Project of mine....
As you can see once I started I got carried away...
Enjoy! Remember to place your links HERE through out the week.
Prompt 6 will be held at Kari's blog next Sunday the 11th February.
Thereafter it will run for two more weeks, on a Sunday.
Can't wait to see your creations...or should I say inspirations?!
